Patient's question:
When the baby was born, it had a bowel movement in the abdomen when the mother's amniotic fluid broke. For two days now, it hasn't had another bowel movement. The baby's temperature and urine are normal, and it releases 2-3 smelly farts every day. I'm almost driving myself crazy now. Please help the experts!!!!!!!!!Patient Age: Infant
Medical History: None
Doctor's answer:
A two-day-old baby's diet is primarily based on breastfeeding. Under normal circumstances, the baby should have at least 3 to 5 bowel movements per day. For such a young baby, if it doesn't have a bowel movement for one or two days, that is considered an abnormal condition. It may be caused by intestinal dysfunction, but it could also be due to abnormal intestinal development. Based on the baby's current condition, it is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a medical examination as soon as possible.
